Great do: earlier I gave a talk linking poetry, music & my favourite quote from Neuman's The Life of Music in North India': “When rāg Malkauns ceases to be the rāg of jinns & becomes a pentatonic scale, the music becomes something different because it means something different.” https://t.co/v7CafzefuS

Dante Alighieri meets Francesca da Rimini and her lover Paolo in the second circle of Hell, reserved for the lustful, where they are doomed in punishment to struggle with quilt covers for all eternity. https://t.co/l837pxbku6

Eliot's The Waste Land epigraph about the Cumaean Sibyl, ("Nam Sibyllam quidem Cumis ego ipse oculis meis vidi in ampulla pendere, et cum illi pueri dicerent: Σιβυλλα τι θελεις; respondebat illa: αποθανειν θελω") cuts the bit where she says "...before I turn into Keith Richard."

In the positive coverage for #LEEDS2023 I'm surprised to see the idea repeated this city lacked music. Gavin Butt's study 'No Machos or Pop Stars' reviewed in new 'Wire' below shows its wealth of great bands, not to mention such as Darach Ó Catháin among its Irish community etc https://t.co/ngGQkH9H8N

" Ian Duhig's New and Selected Poems (Picador) boasts greatest hits and new poems that share the same dark wit, satyric edge and masterful joinery." Very honoured indeed to be a @ae_stallings' @TheTLS Book of 2022 with such writers as Andrey Kurkov, @BorisDralyuk & Jehanne Dubrow

Delighted I'm talking with PJ Harvey about 'Orlam' here, her terrific book of poetry in Dorset dialect (translations on facing pages) in a new edition with her artwork added. I like her music too and recommend this concert aux Nuits de Fourvière: https://t.co/RBC3C705Dt https://t.co/R5LargUVJM

Whenever I have a few readings due together I think of how they can be like the John Wesley preaching tour described in this extract from his journal. https://t.co/t3Wp2KMMyg
